I have an MSI GS43VR laptop with Nvidia GTX 1060 and Intel HD 530 graphics. I am not using the Nvidia card nor do I have the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed. Whenever I install the Nvidia driver, I can use the Nvidia graphics card but as soon as I switch to the Intel card in PRIME, I get a black screen and lockup. Video out works on Nvidia but then the fans are running almost at full speed and very loud.

I would like to use the Intel graphics exclusively while using Ubuntu (I have Windows for the heavy lifting and gaming) but video out simply refuses to run on this laptop. I have tried everything: all the different versions of kernels Xanmod, official Ubuntu 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9 and Padoka's PPA for Intel drivers. Nothing works. Whether I use the mini display port or HDMI, no video out on the Intel side whatsoever. I am at my wits end. I need an external display to do my job and my vision is slightly impaired now as well.

Does anyone have a solution to get external video out working on this Intel HD 530 graphics card?? Thanks in advance

According to the NotebookReview MSI GS43VR Owners’ Lounge all of the external ports (HDMI, DP, Thunderbolt 3) are hard-wired to the Nvidia card, so I’m affraid it’s not possible to use the Intel card to drive an external monitor.
